Finally~

Picked him up on October 16th, 2007. Small little fellow.





Here he is sleeping in mummy's arms. Sleeps like a rabbit lol

He was infested by ticks/fleas.../sigh so had to get some mild medicine for him. Got the ClassIV by Frontline, apparently it's safe for puppies too. The Maltese needed a new one too so got this for the both of them. Working quite well too. Ticks/fleas starting to get really inactive and this Saturday night he'll be getting his first bath from me. Gonna need to wash off all those dead ticks/fleas

Here is how small he is. That is roughly a 1x1' tile.


The first night and day was bad. He cried so loud like it was the end of the world every two hours or so! Apparently he was weaned using canned food which the breeder neglected to tell me. So I was handing feeding him soaked Orijen puppy food, which he didn't like but forced himself to eat after he was starving. He even vomited some of his food back out. According to the vet was because he was too hungry and he ate a lot so he vomited most of the food back out. So finally called the breeder and he went "ops forgot to tell you...", problem fixed. Got some science diet puppy can food and mixed a little with dry orijen puppy kibbles and he finished everything! lol such a huge difference! Also added some Cottage Cheese to his diet to help with his bone and joints development. Apparently they have small bones which I'm a little worried about since he plays kinda rough as will be shown below. Both the dogs love the Cheese. So I'm thinking of permanently adding this to their diet since no diarrhea for both of them.

He was already active when he reached home. Now with all this energy from the amount of food he's taking in...he's one happy and VERY energetic puppy. Mommy stopped worrying about him too since he's eating right now.

We also introduced him to his big brother. It didn't go too well at first. Popy thought that he will be neglected so he was expressed jealousy at first and kept clinging to his mommy lol was so funny. The next day he started warming up to Venus and played with him a little (running away when Venus approaches). Our initial plan was to have Popy(Maltese) tire the puppy out so he wouldn't whine that much. The plan worked even better than we hoped. Both were worn out! So no more noisy whining at night.

Peeing is ok so far. He's kinda accurate, every hour he'll need to go. So, easy to plan this toilet training. Only accident so far happened when he's outside his "home". Played too much and I kinda lost track of time. small pool. when he's "home" he runs to the weepad and does a good job. Best part, he's sharing the poopee tray with Popy. They just set their own rules apparently LOL each of them gets half the tray ie. 1 weepad each. Popy poopee on his side, and Venus on his. Smart furkids lol

As for myself busy busy busy. need to keep the house clean or else their mommy will come after me. A promise is a promise lol
